I have just downloaded Git for Windows from its official site [1], and the first question the installer asked after having me agreed with the terms of the software license was the question about the installation location (screenshot attached). That was basically just running the downloaded executable file without any extra fuss. Since I have absolutely no idea what is "Mosh Hamadoni tutorial", I may guess that whatever that is, it may have lured you to downloading some custom-packaged / re-packaged Git for Windows. If so, I would say the usual "don't do that". > Also, I've downloaded and installed posh-git but cannot seem to get it > integrated with GIT. I have never used that thing, so have no idea what to do about it. As far as I know, stock Git for Windows works just OK in both PS and "legacy" cmd.exe and also in the so-called "Git Bash" it ships in its installer (which is a Windows port of the GNU Bash shell plus a GUI terminal emulator to make it run in a window). > I kinda/sorta like the cmd line approach but I also look at GitKraken but > could not get it to install so that I could see a GUI. I have no idea what GitKraken is; I would recommend to look at Git Extensions for a slick yet not dumbed-down GUI [2]. Also note that Git for Windows ships two "standard" GUI front-ends to Git: git-gui and gitk - the former allows recording commits (including selecting specific chunks and lines), and the latter allows inspecting history graphs and drill down through the repository's history. I would say that their UX does not allow these tools to make it into the "slick GUIs" league, but they just work. 1. https://gitforwindows.org/ 2. https://gitextensions.github.io/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
